Question

Provide an example of an arithmetic series which totals zero. Using complete sentences, explain how you created the example.

Answer 1

a simple example is -2, 0, 2

3 terms common difference is 2 and the 1st term is -2... its symmetrical about 0

Answer 2

another example could be

-10, -5, 0, 5, 10

the sum is 0

Answer 3

Does it have to be a partial series like the one campbell gave, or does it need to be infinite? I'm guessing the latter.

Answer 4

How would you explain that?

Answer 5

the fact its symmetrical about zero is the key to your explanation
